7 weeks, of your COS18 basic? Am I hearing that right?

Wow. I suppose they know if you haven’t left now, no amount of insult will push you further.

Absolutely. However I would happily give all these bonuses back in exchange for our contracts…

Thats great! Enough for me to cover my kid’s education expenses, extra medical insurance coverage and have enough left over to book a weekend getaway in a 3 star hotel in Hong Kong

Are people happy with the recent profit share?

Looking at this from the outside, and I'm not alone on this, it's hard not to be a little bit jealous. Granted, I'm sure getting old contracts back would be preferred, but I'm curious what the sentiment is surrounding this.

It enough to cover the out of pocket expenses for my kids schooling and the health insurance policy. But what happens next year might not cover my out of pocket expenses.

My poll of people who have been there 20 years plus and stuck it out shows that within the next 2-3 years the whole cohort will be gone, and that includes retirees who are now populating the bat cave. Most are long term HK folk who own property outright and have spouses who have their own businesses. The last structural pillar of the company is about to collapse and so the future is a company kept airborne with compromised standards and lowest cost drivers. Sadly there are many ex's who are becoming more inclined to put themselves and loved ones on other carriers. Sad, very sad.

Yes, heartbreaking.

So just to confirm, the implosion is now postponed to 2027?

Possibly, STW, but you don't have to live in a ****hole with those other companies. And what is the point of 15% tax if when all is said and done you can't afford a decent life in that ****hole or anything to show after half a lifetime. Fine if you are happy with pork buns everyday.

I feel sad for you bro, that the life you moved on to after CX and HK is not good enough to stop you lurking here and asking whether the pay is good enough for the rest of us to pay our medical bills and educate our kids.

don’t let the breakup sour you forever, enjoy your new life…

Where do you send your kids? Local school? My tuition bill for one child is $142k! BTW, kind of still hanging around haven’t moved on, so your assumptions are kind of poor.

All the more reason to stfu. You haven’t left, you still take the (albeit trash) pay from CX but bash them to no end on here. If you actually had balls, you’d pull the pin and leave like many of us did but you can’t exactly complain when you stick around by choice and continue to be fed sh*t.
